Living in two places
Some people live in a lot of places, some don’t move at all. It’s a different experience when it comes to live in different countries. It feels like you start all over again. The places I’ve lived in my entire life are El Salvador and the United States. They have their differences, but they both feel like home to me. United States is North America. There are places that are always cold, hot, or both. It depends on where you live. This country is really big, so that’s why you can experience different kinds of weather. I live in Virginia, so I get to feel different temperatures throughout the year: like summer, fall, winter, and spring. My favorite is summer because I love hot weather. The education is much better here. There are a lot of opportunities here, so you can finish school, and have a decent job. I’m going to college here, and if you want to study, they really help you get school done financially and academically. It’s a lot easier to go to school here. The school system is different here. When I went to high school, there is so many clubs and sports you can join on the 4 years of high school. Also, the times between classes, how you switch one class to another, you have your own personal locker, you can drive to school, there are after school programs, so many things that you can do to keep you busy and active in school. I liked it because I got to do those things here, and its free to go there. There are also no uniforms, so you can dress however you want (appropriately).
El Salvador is in Central America. A very tropical country, so it’s always hot there (well, where I used to live). There are some territories that are cold, but it won’t go no less than 30 F. You can only experience summer and winter. Winter for El Salvador is tropical rain all day. The education there is not that good. There is not much opportunity to go to college, unless you have money. There are more job opportunities there because you can do anything as a job and you can make money out of it. It bad to do that (like selling piracy movies or CD’s), but they don’t really apply the rules there. When I was little, I went to a private school. It is so different compare to here. You really don’t go to teachers, they come to you instead. There are some sports and some clubs but this was because I went to a private school, and I paid for tuition and monthly. As you grow up in the school, you get to play different sports like soccer, track, swimming, tennis, basketball, karate and some more. Every grade is assigned a sport every year so you get to do a little bit of everything.
